Esther 6
1 On that night could not the king sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.
| فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَرِقَ الْمَلِكُ، فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِلَيْهِ بِكِتَابِ تَاريِخِ أَيَّامِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ، فَقُرِئَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ، | ١ |
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, of those that kept the door, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
| وَإذَا مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ مَا كَشَفَهُ مُرْدَخَايُ عَنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ بِغْثَانَا وَتَرَشَ خَصِيَّيِ الْمَلِكِ وَحَاجِبَيِ الْبَابِ اللَّذَيْنِ خَطَّطَا لاِغْتِيَالِ الْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ. | ٢ |
3 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
| فَسَأَلَ الْمَلِكُ: «أَيَّةُ مُكَافَأَةٍ وَإِكْرَامٍ أَجْزَلْتُهُمَا لِمُرْدَخَايَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ رِجَالُهُ الْقَائِمُونَ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ: «لَمْ يُكَافَأْ بِشَيْءٍ». | ٣ |
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «مَنْ فِي سَاحَةِ الْقَصْرِ؟» وَكَانَ هَامَانُ قَدْ دَخَلَ سَاحَةَ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ الْخَارِجِيَّةَ لِيَطْلُبَ مِنَ الْمَلِكِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ بِصَلْبِ مُرْدَخَايَ عَلَى الْخَشَبَةِ الَّتِي أَعَدَّهَا لَهُ. | ٤ |
5 And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
| فَأَجَابَ رِجَالُ الْمَلِكِ: «هَا هُوَ هَامَانُ وَاقِفٌ فِي السَّاحَةِ». فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «لِيَدْخُلْ». | ٥ |
6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
| وَعِنْدَمَا مَثَلَ هَامَانُ أَمَامَهُ سَأَلَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «أَيَّةُ مُكَافَأَةٍ يَمْنَحُهَا الْمَلِكُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَحْرِزُ مَسَرَّتَهُ؟» فَقَالَ هَامَانُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «مَنْ يَرْغَبُ الْمَلِكُ أَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي؟» | ٦ |
7 And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
| ثُمَّ أَجَابَ الْمَلِكَ: «تُخْلَعُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَرْغَبُ الْمَلِكُ فِي إِكْرَامِهِ | ٧ |
8 let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:
| الثِّيَابُ الْمَلَكِيَّةُ الَّتِي يَرْتَدِيهَا الْمَلِكُ، وَيُؤْتَى بِالْفَرَسِ الَّذِي يَرْكَبُهُ الْمَلِكُ، وَالتَّاجِ الَّذِي يَضَعُهُ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، | ٨ |
9 and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
| وَلْيُعْهَدْ بِها جَمِيعِهَا إِلَى أَحَدِ أَشْرَافِ أُمَرَاءِ الْمَلِكِ فَيُلْبِسَهَا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ وَيُرْكِبَهُ عَلَى فَرَسِ الْمَلِكِ وَيَقُودَ مَوْكِبَهُ فِي جَمِيعِ أَنْحَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ يَهْتِفُ:’هَكَذَا يُكَافَأُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَرْغَبُ الْمَلِكُ فِي إِكْرَامِهِ‘». | ٩ |
10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِهَامَانَ: «حَسَناً، أَسْرِعْ وَخُذْ هَذِهِ الثِّيَابَ الْمَلَكِيَّةَ وَفَرَسِي وَافْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا اقْتَرَحْتَهُ لِمُرْدَخَايَ الْيَهُودِيِّ حَاجِبِ الْمَلِكِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَغْفَلَ شَيْئاً». | ١٠ |
11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
| فَأَخَذَ هَامَانُ الثِّيَابَ الْمَلَكِيَّةَ وَأَلْبَسَهَا لِمُرْدَخَايَ وَأَرْكَبَهُ عَلَى فَرَسِ الْمَلِكِ، وَقَادَ مَوْكِبَهُ عَبْرَ شَوَارِعِ الْمَدِينَةِ هَاتِفاً: «هَكَذَا يُكَافِئُونَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي يَرْغَبُ الْمَلِكُ فِي إكْرَامِهِ». | ١١ |
12 And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
| ثُمَّ عَادَ مُرْدَخَايُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ. أَمَّا هَامَانُ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ يَجُرُّ وَرَاءَهُ أَذْيَالَ الْخِزْيِ | ١٢ |
13 And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَرَدَ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ زَرَشَ وَعَلَى الْمُقَرَّبِينَ إِلَيْهِ مَا حَدَثَ لَهُ قَالَ لَهُ مُشِيرُوهُ وَزَوْجَتُهُ: «إِنْ كَانَ مُرْدَخَايُ الَّذِي أَخَذَ يَغْلِبُ عَلَيْكَ يَنْتَمِي إِلَى الْجِنْسِ اليَهُودِيِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ بَلْ لابُدَّ أَنْ تَهْلِكَ أَمَامَهُ». | ١٣ |
14 While they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَدَاوَلُونَ فِي الأَمْرِ أَقْبَلَ رُسُلُ الْمَلِكِ يَسْتَدْعُونَ هَامَانَ لِيُسْرِعَ فِي الْحُضُورِ إِلَى المَأْدُبَةِ الَّتِي أَقَامَتْهَا أَسْتِيرُ. | ١٤ |
